It isn’t often you find a band as dedicated to the cause of promoting their genre of music as Nemuer. The quartet create atmospheric dark pagan folk featuring ancient instruments, ethereal or guttural voices and ritual drums. There is a dense and thick tension that runs throughout Nemuer’s music and on their single “Yggdrasil Trembles”, the tension comes from a tagelharpa. A tagelharpa is a four-stringed bowed lyre from Northern Europe and this track uses it like its the centrepiece to a horror chase. Add in all the mythology, drones, drums and ethereal voices and you have a classic.
“Yggdrasil Trembles” comes from Neumer’s debut album “Urðarbrunnr” which is out now on Bandcamp. Alongside being a class musical act, the band also runs the Dark Pagan Folk Radio Station. It is available on YouTube and runs 24/7. Whilst Higher Plain Music doesn’t usually like to promote anything Spotify whatsoever, the band also curates the Dark Pagan Music playlist there too. Time to discover plenty of new music!
